You dont really need to run a fuel cell you can use the standard tank even for E85 it will be fine. that's a nice setup and will easily support 350rwkw easlity and the best part about it is if you decide to up the power later your fuel system is already setup for it. You could use -6AN fuel lines if you use a dual feed rail. Just make sure the fuel line you chose are E85 compatible. I have a similar setup with -8 fuel lines up to plazmaman trin entry fuel rail, turbosmart fpr 1200 but I have 2000cc injectors and a 2500HP magnafuel pump work a treat.

  • I plan to keep my car on e 85 all the time and it will be better weight transfer if I place the cell and my battery at rear of my car on opposite sides right next to the tailgate another good question is what material cell plastic,aluminum,stainless and what lines??

I'm still waiting on proof that the standard fuel tank, swirl pot, float etc are compatable with E85

I've been running it full time for over a year, ive yet to come into any problems so far. I have replaced the intank a few mnths ago just as a precaution as it was 5 yrs old, and nothing looked out of the ordinary.
